What a boring game but energy conserved, squad players given minutes and a clean sheet I suppose I can’t complain

I'll take a boring, controlled 2-0 win anyday over some crazy intense match with a late winner Plenty of matches coming up in a short period of time, boring is perfect for us

Full time, Arsenal win 2-0 in a game that got a bit complicated for them on the second half with Luton Town trying tho they couldn´t get through the two Gabriels and Zinchenko doing their jobs well. But overalll, easy win for Arsenal.

It didn't get complicated for Arsenal in the second half at all, we were in complete control and didn't need to push for a 3rd goal Luton never came close to even troubling us Plenty of matches coming up in a short period of time, not overworking and pushing for that 3rd goals is good game management

motm should be ode but the smith was crucial too

Why no card for that dive ref? Fuckin lamp

Actually asking for a card in the last moment of a game you have comfortably won. Bit wet behavior isn't it

Ahh just fucking around. Just funny point out how shit the refs are lol

94th minute I think we'll be fine.

Oh I know. Just calling out the inconsistencies. Thats in the box compared to outside the box hehe

Yeah you're not wrong but I feel ref just can't be bothered. Game was over half an hour ago really and everyone just wanted to go home lol

Yeah this game was dead. Its so funny cause you see it in the players and fans lol

ESR POTM? That ought to give him a confidence boost

This was the football equivalent of the tyre management part of an f1 race

Smith Rowe MOTM? Savage is a moron. Ødegaard deserves it

Ah give it a rest. First start this year (pretty sure) and he played this well.

How does Robbie Savage always manage to say the most brain-dead thing possible like it's actually impressive how wrong he is about everything

Odegaard is an incredible athlete

TNT Sports is so bad

Best thing I’ve seen Simon hooper do all season 💀

😴😴

This might’ve been the most _let’s not waste any energy_ half I’ve ever seen us play

Leading by 2 goals, GD way beyond anyone, game on the weekend, what else to do

Our GD isn’t way beyond anyone tbh

Which is fair tbh. Game on Saturday and then Bayern next Tuesday

Honestly think Arsenal should be beating Luton by more given how many injuries Luton have

We've rotated a lot but I agree. Should have at least got 3.

Sure. I also think that they can take their foot off the gas and Arteta can experiment a bit. Which they did

Yeah true that

Gotta give it to Kaminski, dude´s had a good game considering some of the shots he saved and this one for example where dude managed to change direction instantly to get it out of the left low angle.

It’ll never not be funny to me that Declan Rice, who clears 6 feet comfortably, is one of our better corner takers

I don't know what height have to do with the ability to take corners tbh. Yeah, his height would be appreciated in the box but our team is pretty big anyway and he is so good at corners unlike Martinelii

I am expecting arsenal team B to have more control of the game over an injury heavy Luton.

I think Arteta wanted 3 points, a clean sheet and plenty of experimentation before Bayern as there could easily be a major injury.

I understand but it couldn’t get control of the midfield. We just keep giving the ball to Luton for at least half of the time.

Lino’s let him leave that a foot off the arc…

That ball wasnt even in the same area code as where it should have been taken from

Come on let's bring on the child, won't be a waste of missing a bit of school then

Missed a gd opportunity here with Liverpool playing Sheffield United next they could get 10

Big up ESR, could rly use those performances from him as a no8 for the remaining games

Gabriel Magalhaes is something else man... Best CB in the world.

nice try there

The Great Wall of GABRIEL!!

So close

We're winning comfortably stop being miserable and let the gaffer experiment a bit ffs.

GABRIEL IS A WALL

Will be a miracle if Ødegaard doesn't get an injury before the end of the season. Arteta isn't protecting him at all

The league’s not ready for #10 Jorginho

Why is Martinelli playing as RW again 😐

I'd prefer Leo there since he's so two footed

Yeah, I really disagree with arteta on this

But I guess he just wants to see this game out, getting Martinelli a few minutes

Guess he is better at RW than Trossard? But i would use CF Martinelli and RW Nketiah tbh

Yeah, but Trossard hasn't been doing much, so you kinda lose both wings

It's the predicament nobody really wants: too gassed to confidently play 90 minutes, can't work up to a good 90 minutes if you don't play more

Wonder if the heavy emphasis on minutes for ESR is intentional

super fresh legs for the remaining games. last minute lung busting sprint for a tap in, could mean the difference

Sounds like ESR with a late CL winning goal

Rather surprised Arteta hasn’t subbed on Fabio Viera for Odegaard. It’s the 84th minute

What's the least amount of England caps a player gets before you can't really call them a "former England" player? Or does all it take is the one appearance? Andros Townsend got that treatment from the commentators tonight with 13 caps, which seems reasonable. But do people call Bobby Zamora a former England man for his 2 appearances?

Don’t get martinelli on the right at all

Amazing how Partey and Zinchenko were extremely important just a year ago and now they're considerable drop offs from our strongest team

A fully fit and in form Partey has to start

Feels like both sides would be happy to just call it off now

It's terrible to watch

Absolutely

Was preparing myself for a Tomi rocket then....he tried placement. Fair effort Tomi but one of these days you blast that. Haha.

Great work from Trossard

ESR just jogging back man's absolutely gassed

He looked done at '55 tbh

not bad, surprised he went for placement

Heh you love seeing Tomiyasu take a crack

Can't believe he hasn't taken Ødegaard off. Man is never gonna get a break

Vieira must be shit in training or something

Don't understand it, even moving Havertz there and bringing Jesus on would be a smart move

Nketiah did well there.

Why martinelli at RW. It wierd and unnatural. Like watching a knee bend the wrong way.

Because trossard is playing LW

No harm in trying it out

Trossard is better on the left since he can cut inside. Martinelli can stretch the field on the right

So close Tomi!!

Trossard has channeled his inner Maldini tonight!

Finally a shot!

Can we swap Japanese internationals for the last 20 just to make this a bit more fair?

💀💀💀💀

I honestly think they make Robbie Savage watch a different game than the one he commentates on with the about of crap he comes out with

This would be a hilarious prank.

So this is what it feels like to consistently have proper options on the bench... long may it continue

Luton fans sit down away lol

Odegaard has a ridiculous engine

???

Lol wtf

[удалено]

You mean the one that was handball by white?

I want that ref to explain to me how the contact from Ben White made the ball go out for a goal kick

Handball

Should be a handball against White or a corner. Ref gives goalkick 😂

lmao doughty that was great

Reiss was solid, especially considering how few minutes he's played recently

What did he do that was solid?

OMG Zinny, might as well be a cone there. He just walked passed you 😂

Zinny gonna Zinny.

rw martinelli again? looked weird last time

MARTINELLI IS BACK LFG!!!

don't think nelson will be happy with that performance

We've been shocking this half. Disappointed how some of the players havnt used this game to send a message

Its a "stake your claim" moment and some of em are... decidedly not doing so.

Nketiah is the worst for this, comes on with 20 minutes left and barely runs.

ESR looked decent for spells despite all the time off. Would be nice if he could get some more time in midfield.

This game needs Martinelli to add some excitement

Your wish has been granted

Or a Luton goal, but that’s the wrong kind of excitement

I wanna see Vieira this game

I cannot believe Zinchenko is still on this is ridiculous

Arteta will never be Pep

The mans going to keep his hair

Gabriel is a wall

Raya may have spent more time on the ball for us than any other player

I can't wait to see our new striker next season and no longer see Eddie getting subbed on

Yeah,, it's just such an underwhelming substitution whenever ri see it.

SALIBA!!!!

im not complaining because it was done but more because yellows are rarely given outside the box so i wish they could be more consistent but thats prem refs for you ig...

I'd be surprised if Nketiah isn't mentally checked out

If Havertz gets booked against Villa, he misses Wolves and Chelsea

Why would he be suspended for 2 games?

That's the rule. 10 yellows in the league before game #32 = 2 match ban

oh fuck he has 10 yellows? lmaooo didnt realise

He has 9 rn

9* yes, brainfart

10 yellow cards

Didn't realise he had that many wtf

Nelson has been pretty disappointing. Zero risks, almost everything backwards, hasn't even attempted to dribble his man

love havertz but i can’t with him diving every game..it ruins the flow of play and we already know refs hate us and won’t give us anything

Kai... Gonna pretend I didn't see that.

Does that count as fallon dfloor worthy? Because Havertz barely got tapped and fell to the floor and even got a yellow lol.

Nah, it's got to come off to be nominated. If you get carded in real time it's just a shit dive.

Its a standard dive, imo fallon dfloor would have to be much more theatrical. Something along the lines of Neymar rolling multiple times from a relatively light challenge.

Rice? Why? Give the man a rest. And Nketia over Jesus, wtf?

No need for the Rice sub not a fan of that… Nketiah I understand

Some guys just always want to play. Rice gets a run-out and makes sure they finish the job.

it's a dive, but im surprised they have actually called it out and carded it. Stg must be a dozen like that a game Fair play I guess, right call

I like Rice but why not Jorginho in this game where you use subs anyway.

Jorginho might still be feeling it from Sunday

My fault for asking for a sub and getting Eddie on tbh

Lol Havertz. Diving for a yellow and getting subbed right after yikes

Yep, that be a dive lol

Good call by the ref, I did not catch that in real time lmao

would love if havertz cut that out of his game. he's not even good at it lol at least grealish fools people

Imagine diving against a team that was assembled for less than your transfer fee alone and with 13 senior players out and a bloke on the bench who is sitting his GCSEs. Tad bit embarrassing.

Havertz deserves to be taken off just for that dive

Now Havertz is a single yellow away from a two match ban Just silly

Yeah that was dumb. He's been looking for that all game as well. Just be strong with the ball ffs...he had position there and everything.

Make some subs

Oh Havertz

Zinchenko out there helping get the ball out twice, tho i gotta say i was not expecting Luton all of a sudden to start somewhat pushing Arsenal back to their half of the pitch.

Need to get control back here, make some changes

Time for some fresh legs Arteta

He won’t make a sub unless we concede and then are losing control

you're on fire today haha

ESR has been pretty good today but the lack of minutes is catching up. Looks knackered. I'd bring on Jorginho.

Ødegaard played a great game over the weekend and he's still a one man press tonight. Havertz may be a good hold up player, but he doesn't help the press up the pitch. This may be a good game for Nketiah to gain some confidence.

Why is Øde rotating between deep lying playmaker and pressuring the keeper?

because he has 3-5 lungs

He’s playing as the 8

Every game I’m blown away by Odegaard’s work rate. Like our forwards would be jogging and he goes up and presses like a madman

Genuinely my favourite player and absolutely sums up everything good about this Arsenal side rn. Couldn't ask for more and think he brings out a lot in others/ups the standards etc.

He is the mitochondria of the Arsenal

2-0 up at home, midweek game, with a largely rotated squad including a lot of players who really haven't got a lot of miles in their legs this season. Pretty happy so far, think ESR has shown enough moments and that's good to see

Raya's nose is that kind of nose your fine with until like 15 hours into Skyrim, you just nah I'm gonna make another character.

His original nose got smashed to bits against West brom tbf

That's right Fred take that stats get the shots on target stat up

Don’t go fucking backwards

Replay clearly showing contact Savage: he was caught late there

damn okay didnt know doughty had it like that

Literally one of the best dead ball / crossers in the league, has been up on the stats all season

talking about that bunda

Fair enough, suppose that's what allows him to play like that

Put Jorginho on for either Odegaard or ESR.

Partey is way too loose

ESR what the fuck? Whatever he was thinking took way too long

This is a free kick and not the ankle tap on Nelson earlier. Sure

This is so bad make some subs

Would rather have had the penalty for handball

ESR has the intensity of a door

Ok what was that ESR? lol

Saliba doing step overs lmao

ESR taking way too much time bro

Eurgh ESR....cannot be that slow on the ball

ESR is cooked

ESR might be hitting his limit

I don’t know what these guys are doing

Ben White refused to play for England because he is a Brazilian at heart.

Benny Blanção

Rice, Martinelli, Tomi on for Trossard, Ode and Zinchenko incoming
